It depends on the school, some school concern about dsa, but some did not.

understand that gep students are prepared for dsa application as they will be guided by the teachers to do the portfolio and trained for the interview. But how about non-gep school? Do they prepare students :? for dsa?

Don't think any schools prepare students for interview? At most, they will give a short briefing on what to expect. My boy is a non-gep from a gep school. They don't prepare them.

Mummies with kids confirmed placement in sec schools via DSA.

Do you have to submit the S1 posting form?

I've submitted mine since son's doing 3rd lang. If you're not doing 3rd lang, why dont you login, just update your contact details, leave the lang empty, save and see what happens?

Even if the school doesn't, centres like the learning lab would.

I have rejected the DSA as I did not submit the acceptance form.

It turned out that my kid’s PSLE result was not very good.

Has anyone got the experience to appeal to the DSA school & what is the procedure?

Need help pls.

I submitted, putting \"zero\" for 3rd lang.

I am submitting without 3rd lang too. Think IP program will be strenous enough, no need to add another subject…

Good luck to every parent and his/her child. Wish that every child gets into their desired school. New school, new uniform, new beginning…

Hi vlim or anyone, what is portfolio ? and what typically are included? Is CCA part of the portfolio? Is it for GEP student when they apply for DSA only? Any sample?
